Summer Internship with RIL: On an uncharted path to a new beginning



A road less travelled…!

By opting to work in CSR and Sustainability, I took a road less travelled and initially, I had mixed feelings about working in this division. Questions like “CSR, Why didn’t you take up an internship in a core FMCG Company?” were thrown at me. While though these questions kept perturbing me for some time, but at the same time I also remembered HUL Chairman Harish Manwani’s AGM speech on “Leadership in the VUCA world” according to which sustainability was the third biggest megatrend across the world. Sustainability and social responsibility were increasingly becoming an important part of businesses and I believe that large corporate organizations are increasingly in need to manage this aspect of business more systematically, just as they manage their core business operations. Leaving so many opportunities to work in the most sought after marketing function, I chose strategy for innovative & sustainable growth. I wasn’t sure of the worthiness of my path. However, I wanted to ideate and I believed in myself & the excitement, newness and challenge that I saw in this strategic function which perhaps pulled me towards it. I was given a chance to work in the Chairman’s Office in the strategy function under the direct guidance of one of the most senior personages in RIL. The project was about planning an innovative business model that integrates the value chain from production to marketing and selling so as to benefit the village communities. A strategic framework had to be created to establish a business model that would benefit both Reliance and the farmer community. It also involved optimization of current programs in order to improve the efficiency of service delivery by Reliance Foundation. Reliance has helped in creating small village farmer associations in most marginalized sections of the society. The farmers belonging to these associations are given help in the form of training, provision of input seed material, etc. In order to make their retail business sustainable, the idea was to explore the most innovative strategies implemented across the world and design the best ones which could be implemented for the company and that could leverage the produce of the village communities.


Induction- Exposure to the biggest private company of India!

But before the project work actually began, RIL gave us a wonderful opportunity to familiarize ourselves with one another by organizing a two day trip to Jamnagar, Gujarat.
“Gigantic” – This is what I could describe RIL just after 2 days of my internship induction program. It all started with an interaction with business heads and then rounds of dinner with the senior most people from the company. The visit to the “Largest Refinery in the world” at Jamnagar, Gujarat and our stay at one of the finest places in the Reliance Campus at Jamnagar not only gave us a feel of the scale of operations but also gave us an opportunity to appreciate the endurance a company builds to come up with such a mammoth business. It is one thing to learn about operations of such large plants in theory but actually seeing the plant in operation on-site lends a very different perspective. Though two days were definitely not enough to see the entire gamut of businesses that RIL is into, however, at the end of two days the “King Size” feeling did sunk in our minds. It was also a great opportunity to interact with other interns and learn about life in their colleges. After this, all of us were given our respective projects and then the real work began.
